Send Events and other information from Event viewer

[Gunnar B Melby]

Hi all windows XP experts.

I have a question if it is possible to send mails from Event Viewer. Normal
navigation to this form is:
Start/Control Panel/administrative tools/Computer Management.

Is it possible to send e-mail to an administrators mail adress for some
special error messages? Or can the event viewer integrate with other system
performance tools like CA Unicenter, Oracle Enterprise Manager, etc.

Thanks for your help.

Not exactly, but if while viewing Event Properties you click on the icon
just below the up/down arrows, all of the information about that event
is copied to the clipboard, from which you paste into the body of an email.

You can also use the command line tool eventtriggers to initiate a task
when a given event occurs. In order to send email from the command line
you probably will have to use something like Bmail

or Blat http://www.blat.net/

For details about eventtriggers, go to Start > Run and enter
%Windir%\Help\ntcmds.chm [click OK]
then search for eventtriggers
